The Tech5 competition 2016 has come to an end. Together with Adyen, we searched six countries to find each one’s fastest growing companies in revenue, hosting a dinner in each country to announce its winner.
During TNW Europe –on the main stage at 5:10PM – we’ve just announced the overall European winner and handed over the prestigious Tech5 award. Congratulations Lesara!
During Tech5, we met several fascinating, fast growing companies, but not all could take home their country’s prize.
As a content provider TNW is always looking for great stories. That’s why we’ve decided to introduce the European Tech30. This is a list of Europe’s 30 fastest growing companies in revenue for companies younger than 5 years.
